Investing in developing General Artificial Intelligence doesn't add up. A self-aware, conscious AI would be a person. Persons have rights. Either they don't believe they can do it and are lying. Or they want to own people. Neither sounds good to me.

Stop #RussianWarCrimes

There is that

This is in the running for my favorite lecture slide ever

"Verify you are a human" ist die Bettelampel des neuen Internet. Knopf drücken und auf Grün warten. Und auch wegen der Maschinen, die da eigentlich nur stören.

Kaufrausch ..

Looks like the gloves are off.

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao

Today, more of Staindl's recipes with lung and liver. One is a Mörserkuchen. #Earlymodern cooks really got creative. www.culina-vetus.de/2025/11/27/m... #culinaryhistory #foodhistory #medievalsky #offal #nosetotail

Today, a set of recipes for cooking lungs and liver in spicy sauces. #Earlymodern German had no word for #offal, but some meats were less equal than others. www.culina-vetus.de/2025/11/26/l... #culinaryhistory #foodhistory #organmeat

Kann man eigentlich irgendwo eine Liste der Mitglieder dieses Verbandes einsehen? Ich würde gerne mein Einkaufsverhalten anpassen.

We need to talk about this A LOT in Europe. Such a shocking illustration of how we are getting colonized by the Americans. Let's spread this widely so it helps galvanize public opinion.

Carrie Fisher was the blueprint. Protect your people. Call out the predators. #RESIST

Happy Birthday to the legendary Billy Connolly who turns 83 today, and who from a young age realised the importance of #Libraries. 'When I was an unhappy little boy, going to the library changed my life. It may even have saved it.' Happy Birthday Big Yin. 🎉🎂🌟❤️

Are you using AI, as a professional? Check your insurance cover, because a lot of the big insurers are about to pull out of insuring it. Which means that if you let it write your stuff or control your operations, you are potentially personally liable for its errors...

🇺🇦 Zelensky: The crux of the entire diplomatic situation is that it was Russia, and only Russia, that started this war, and it is Russia, and only Russia, that has been refusing to end it throughout the full-scale invasion.

Winter has come. I finished a cloak, got a beautiful new hat, and translated two 16th-century #gingerbread recipes. www.culina-vetus.de/2025/11/23/l... #culinaryhistory #foodhistory #earlymodern #medievalsky #historicdress #hat

When I go to France next year, I should get some new glasses as well.

❗️RETWEET if you stand with President 🇺🇦Zelensky!

Das beschreibt die Situation ganz hervorragend! Bekommt es endlich in eure Köpfe! Die USA unter Krasnov / Trump sind unser von Russland gesteuerter Feind!

Europa hat nur gut 1 % der weltweiten #Erdgasvorrätee – das ist eine enorme Abhängigkeit! Die #USA und #Katar nutzen das als Druckmittel. Setzt auf #Wärmepumpee und #Elektromobilitätt 🚗🔥 Sonst zahlen wir den Preis.

Why yes, @microsoft.com, I will HAPPILY provide you feedback on how exactly I feel about Word right now.

NEW PUBLICATION Our @historians.org American Historical Review article presents a pathbreaking methodology to analyse the invisible biochemical traces that #earlymodern users left behind on the surface of paper recipes doi.org/10.1093/ahr/...

Whenever this is mentioned, it is obligatory to post xkcd 2381, in which @gretchenmcc.bsky.social shares forbidden linguistic knowledge with the masses.

Rewarding a dictator-aggressor always leads to another war. One that is usually even worse.

Today's #sixteenthcentury recipe is for cold shoulder, but that is probably not where the expression comes from. It's actually pretty good. www.culina-vetus.de/2025/11/21/t... #culinaryhistory #foodhistory #earlymodern #proverb

Today, two recipes for the same ox tongue pastry from different sources, both from Augsburg c. 1550. We have few other places with that much material to work from. www.culina-vetus.de/2025/11/19/t... #culinaryhistory #foodhistory #earlymodern #Welser

I’ve written a piece on the curious lack of media and political interest in the issues faced by our national @britishlibrary.bsky.social. This is strange given we live in a world where ideas, knowledge and research are a long-term source of innovation and insight www.cityam.com/the-british-...

Translations! We need them more than ever now people rely on words a metal box vomits out.

After much deliberation and a grueling interview process, I’m pleased to announce that I’ve accepted a new job and will not need any financial support from my parents to cover the high costs of childcare going forward. #AmericanDream #ThisIsYourCity

The AI bubble may be about to bust. Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock. We all need to say this very clearly: NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH! Expropriate their asses instead. They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet. They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3

Today, just briefly, recipes for veal and mutton pies from Staindl's 1547 cookbook. Attractively modern. I'll be talking about pies and tarts at the West Coast Culinary Symposium later tonight. www.culina-vetus.de/2025/11/16/v... #culinaryhistory #foodhistory #earlymodern

I see you, and I love you.

Where do I sign?

🖤🕯️Heute ist Welt-Gedenktag für die #Straßenverkehrsopfer. Tödliche Kollisionen im Straßenverkehr sind keine Naturkatastrophe. Die Gestaltung von Straßen, die Förderung von Verkehrsmitteln, Tempolimits uvm. haben direkten Einfluss auf #Verkehrssicherheit. Wir kämpfen weiter für die #VisionZero!

Forscher irrten jahrelang: "Himmelsscheibe" von Nebra ist offenbar ein Pizza-Rezept www.der-postillon.com/2019/11/pizz...

Das 🇩🇪-Ticket wird bald für 14 Mio. Menschen teurer. Doch anstatt Bahntickets, verbilligt die Bundesregierung jetzt ernsthaft für 350 Mio. €/Jahr Flugtickets. Diese Regierung ist sozialpolitisch eine absolute Zumutung & klimapolitisch ein Totalausfall. Wie kann man nur so schiefe Prioritäten haben?

In Zeiten des Klimawandels ist es natürlich besonders wichtig, dass fliegen billiger wird. 350 Millionen Euro kostet der Spaß, bezahlt wird aus dem Verkehrsetat, auf gut deutsch es wird bei der Bahn gestrichen werden. Diese Regierung ist so fertig.

Why has the EU not rolled out the welcome mat yet? The German government should be offering them plane tickets and free language classes yesterday.

Harald Lesch hat zu 100% recht! "Technologieoffenheit ist häufig ein Ausdruck für technologische Ahnungslosigkeit" und "Die Wärmepumpe ist die beste Maschine, die die Physik anzubieten hat, da gibt es keine Alternative" Endlich rechnet mal jemand mit diesem Bullshit-Argument der Union ab.

In der #Ukraine sind fünf Manager verhaftet worden, die sich in Krisenzeiten korrupt bereichert haben, und zwei Minister sind zurückgetreten. Die #Bundesregierung ist schockiert und fordert Aufklärung; So etwas kennt man in Deutschland nicht. www.dw.com/de/korruptio...

Stalin let the people starve while he feasted. Mao raped underage girls. Breshnev clung to power long after his faculties left him. Castro brutally persecuted gays. Today, one person can do what took four under Communism. I guess capitalism is more productive.

CLAIM: The government is run by a secret society of pedophiles RATING: FALSE. This society is in no way a secret

From Balthasar Staindl's 1547 cookbook, how to put various birds in pastries. It has eggs, lemons, onions, and bacon, what more could you want? www.culina-vetus.de/2025/11/12/p... #culinaryhistory #foodhistory #earlymodern #pastries

No no no begs every archivist. You are never going to be able to find anything. Please don’t start using emojis in file names. Who asked for this? What fresh hell is next?
